Having been to different Oasis Lodges before, we
were expecting a certain standard.We were in for a big disappointment
at the River Chalets at Zanzibar. The camp was in a neglected state
with Litter strewn around. The pool was completely dirty and could
not be used. The chalet itself was shocking, broken window catches
so that you could not open the windows. The blinds were broken and
the curtains had holes in them.The bedding was shabby and well worn.
The shower,bathroom and kitchen were not clean. This was meant to
be self catering but there were no glasses.There was only one side
plate, one pudding bowl and four dinner plates.There was only one
bedside light and that had no globe in it! There were no tables
or chairs available to sit at and enjoy the location of being on
the Limpopo. The staff did their best to help us but with no backing
from their manager. Most unsatisfactory as this is in a remote area,
the border was closed and there is no option of another hotel. A
sad end for us to what had been a wonderful holiday in Botswana.
